If they were, we'd have very few admirable historical figures. Character flaws (as judged by modern standards) have to seen in light of the times the person existed.

I was the same, couldn't make any sense of first puzzle I ran into and gave up.

The station at the end is in orbit, so it's the difference between trying to climb a ladder to the Moon, and trying to jump to the Moon.

His own smug sense of superiority should suffice.

How many times do countries have to collapse before we can be sure?

Anecdata: I don't use Twitter much, but people do send links to me occasionally. Ones from my conservative friends often go to "You are rate limited, please try again" or fail to load. Ones from my liberal friends almost never do.

Whoever can one day defend it militarily. History has shown that is the true source of ownership.

I do the same, but I've been told that falling asleep that fast is a sign of exhaustion.

When every tech journalism outfit is saying "<X> is the future." you can be sure it won't be.

Is your public work personal data?

Ours went haywire and crashed into a pond onetime when we used the Return to Home feature. YMMV

The movie dumbed down the books complex issues we'll face with Robots to "They're going to take over the world". But at least Isaac Asimov was always promoting Dos Equis and Converse shoes in his books so they got that right...

I had the the same issue with my now 5 month old, I'd guess most first time parents do.

How is that different from any other premium content provider?

Taxes aren't donated, they're collected.

It's not record high employment, its record low unemployment.

It would be more interesting to find something unexpected I would think.

Would make for an interesting sky

May you live in interesting times.

4. Digital copies are often available online for free.

My comment was meant as a joke, I needed the /s tag I guess. I've got a 3 month old, and we went through the experience of reading the very contradictory child raising books. We're not going to try to manipulate our kids every moment or be tiger parents.

You try that, I'll try the other way and we'll see whose baby gets into Harvard!

This reminded me of Stripe's "Bring Your Own Team" that I saw on here a while ago. There is an update on the original post though that says it didn't end up working out for them, but still might be some useful info for you.

Same boat, birthday is a couple months away and I want to build a PC, need prices to go down before then.

All the Mayors of these cities will now engage in a hunger games style competition at Jeff Bezos' estate for the privilege.

Arthur C. Clarke has a short story that touches on this idea "The Food of the Gods"

The NFL has a minimum salary of $450,000. 3-4 years in NFL at that will earn you more than the average American earns in a lifetime. That's probably a rational economic trade-off for the risk of CTE.

I guess we should just let you make all the choices for everyone then, sounds like you're up for it.

You mean the party pushing for tax cuts?

The camera & low-level video encoding / decoding are the most device-specific quirky in my experience. If you're making something that is just "software" it's all pretty standardized, but when you start accessing the "hardware" (video codec, camera, possibly low-level audio) is where the device specific differences catch you.
